Green plants in the house

Depending on the air purifying ability of each type of plant and the layout, you choose which green plants to bring into the house. If you want to place plants in a large space, plants over 1m tall will be quite ideal, but if you do not have the conditions to do so, you can still create a green space right in the corner of your house with small table plants.

Install curtains

Curtains that block sunlight and infrared rays are an effective solution to prevent heat in the summer. When choosing curtains, you should choose cool, soothing colors such as blue, pastel pink...

Reduce heat in the house

When cooking, vacuuming, drying clothes, ironing..., a significant amount of heat is emitted, making your house hotter and more stuffy. To limit this, open the door to let the hot air out.

Unplug

When using air conditioners, fans, televisions, etc., most of us switch to standby mode instead of turning them off completely. This is also the cause of electricity loss. Therefore, if you are not using them, it is best to completely unplug the electrical devices.

Clean electrical equipment

Clean fan blades will create a fresher and cooler wind. Cleaning the air filter will also help the air conditioner cool more effectively. Regularly cleaning electrical equipment will help the engine cool down and consume less energy.

Use the refrigerator properly

The refrigerator should be cleaned regularly, about once every 1-2 months, to prevent bacteria and mold from growing.

You should place the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area, at least 10 cm away from the wall to allow heat to escape. In addition, limit opening the refrigerator door continuously in the summer, if you do not want the compressor to work a lot and waste electricity.
